What Does FACA Stand For?
FACA stands for Federal Advisory Committee Act 1972
The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 is a United States law that establishes open meeting and transparency requirements for federal advisory committees. Its primary purpose is to ensure that these committees operate in a manner that is accountable to the public and that their advice is available for scrutiny. FACA mandates that advisory committees provide balanced representation, adhere to specific procedures for meetings, and maintain records of their activities, thereby enhancing public trust and participation in the federal decision-making process.
